Yang Jianye of "Oriental Daily" was holding a camera at this time, with his apprentice Tang Kaimin beside him. At the same time, in front of them was a long corridor paved with red carpets, with the same status as the two of them on both sides.
Reporters for newspapers, television stations, and radio stations.
There are also security guards responsible for maintaining order on site.
The most advantageous positions are reporters from "True News", "Tian Tian Daily" and TVB TV station.
Seeing that their position allowed them to interview today's guests immediately, Yang Jianye's heart ached with envy.
"It's just eight o'clock, and there are still two hours before the groundbreaking ceremony at 10 o'clock!"
Tang Kaimin said with some excitement that the last time at the Peninsula Hotel, when the auction of this land ended, they did not interview Chu Huan, which made Tang Kaimin very disappointed.
"Master, do you think we can interview Chu Huan today?"
"What are you thinking about, little girl? It's still uncertain whether Chu Huan will come today!" Standing next to the "Oriental Daily" position was a reporter from the "Sing Tao Daily", who was joking about Tang Kaimin.
Regarding today’s groundbreaking ceremony for Zhulu Commercial Center, the outside world still doesn’t know whether Chu Huan will participate!
"Definitely. How could Chu Huan not participate in such an important project!"
Tang Kaimin preached very firmly.
No one refuted Tang Kaimin's statement this time. Just as Tang Kaimin said, how could Chu Huan not come to such a big project?
"Look, a car is coming!"
While everyone was discussing, a car suddenly appeared at the entrance to the groundbreaking ceremony.
"People who don't know would think you are going to hold an award ceremony!"
Chu Huan, who was wearing a black suit, got out of the car and after seeing the situation at the scene, he said helplessly.
Lu Qi stood in front of the car, handed the engineering hat to Chu Huan, and said with a smile, "Chairman, we are not deliberately high-profile. Only this scale can be worthy of our project."
Chu Huan smiled at this and asked, "Are you ready for the reception later?"
Lu Qi immediately said, "Chairman, don't worry, I guarantee that everything will be completed beautifully!"
"Mr. Chu"
"Chairman Chu"
Chu Huan, He Bingguang, Lu Qi and others were walking towards the center of the platform while talking about today's groundbreaking ceremony. The reporters on both sides naturally hoped to take this opportunity to interview Chu Huan, but let them
Disappointingly, Chu Huan had no intention of accepting an interview as before. He just communicated with He Bingguang, Lu Qi and others and walked straight to the stage.
Seeing Chu Huan walking directly in front of him, Tang Kaimin showed a disappointed expression.
Yang Jianye watched from the side and comforted softly, "It's good. At least Chu Huan can appear here today, which is already a very good thing. You have to know his current situation, but he doesn't come out often!"
Hearing his master's comfort, Tang Kaimin felt a little better.
"Okay, concentrate on your work. Since Chu Huan has appeared here, there will definitely be a lot of big shots here today. The only worry now is whether we have enough papers to hand in!"
"Invincibility starts with sacrificing the ancestor"
Yang Jianye preached with experience.
After Yang Jianye's reminder, the reporters at the scene cheered up. Just as Yang Jianye said, Chu Huan, who has been keeping a low profile in the past two years, appeared here. Obviously, the scale of today's groundbreaking ceremony will not be too small.
"Do you think Hong Kong Governor MacLehose will come?"
A reporter at the scene suddenly asked in a low voice.
"It's hard to say!" A reporter said uncertainly, "If it was a public project, Hong Kong Governor MacLehose would definitely come, but now Zhulu Commercial Center is obviously a private project, so the Hong Kong Governor probably won't come!"
"Even if the Governor of Hong Kong cannot come, I think the Colonial Secretary and the Financial Secretary will definitely come!"
"According to common sense, it should be like this, but everyone, don't forget that Chu Huan is a Hong Kong citizen, not a British investor. He just defeated HSBC and the four major foreign banks before. Maybe the Hong Kong government will be a kitten today.
There are two or three of them!”
The reporters at the scene began to discuss the guests who were about to arrive. The situation was just like when the movie "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" was released in later generations. The audience sitting in the cinema was ready to count the stars.
Soon, two cars arrived at the scene together.
"Look, Sun Hung Kai Kwok Desheng's car!" A reporter immediately recognized the identity of the car.
Sure enough, the back door of the car was opened, and 64-year-old Guo Desheng came out of the car. However, the person who got out of the car with Guo Desheng was not Guo Bingxiang, but Guo Bingjiang, who was not well-known in Hong Kong.
"Why is it Guo Bingjiang and not Guo Bingxiang? Is it true that as rumored by the outside world, Guo Bingxiang fell out of favor in the Guo family because of Li Tianying's incident?"
Some reporters were a little curious when they saw Guo Bingjiang getting off the bus with Guo Desheng.
Soon, this curiosity disappeared, because in the car behind, Guo Bingjiang got out of the car together with his fiancée Li Tianying.
Then, led by Xu Yi, the Guo family father and son and Li Tianying, the woman who was about to marry into the Guo family, walked to the stage together.
"Why did Uncle Guo come here in person? Just ask Bingxiang and Bingjiang to come over!"
Chu Huan personally greeted him and preached with a smile on his face.
Guo Desheng laughed and joked with Chu Huan, "Why are you still not satisfied when I come here in person?"
Chu Huan smiled and said, "It's not too late to be happy. I haven't thanked Uncle Guo properly for what happened before."
Chu Huan was talking about the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni.
Guo Desheng patted Chu Huan on the shoulder and said happily, "Well done. After you have made this start, life will be difficult for the foreign consortiums that follow!"
Chinese Real Estate's successful acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni set the precedent for Chinese businessmen to proactively acquire foreign-funded consortiums. After this incident, many Chinese businessmen will surely follow suit.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan said, "In our Chinese country, there is nothing good to say about acquiring foreign-funded consortiums."
Guo Desheng nodded and said, "Yes, but you should be busy first. After today's affairs are over, we can have a good chat."
Chu Huan nodded, now is indeed not the time to discuss matters seriously.
At this time, father and son Zheng Yutong and Zheng Jiachun had arrived at the scene.
Chu Huan naturally wanted to step forward and continue the greetings.
Then there are Feng Jingxi, Feng Yongfa, Feng Yongxiang and his son.
Feng Yongxiang also came back from Canada at this time. Feng Jingxi smiled and said to Chu Huan, "Ah Huan, Yongxiang has just returned to Xiangjiang. There will definitely be many things that need to trouble you in the future. You have to take care of me!"
"Ah Huan, I'll leave it to you from now on!" Feng Yongxiang, as the second son of Feng Jingxi, later succeeded Feng Yongfa as the chairman of Sun Hung Kai Securities.
This was not the first time Chu Huan met Feng Yongxiang. He smiled and said, "Toy, you are too polite. This time you came back from Canada and you didn't call in advance. Why are you afraid that we will let you treat us?"
Feng Yongxiang laughed and said, "Ah Huan, you just acquired Qingzhou Yingni, and now you are about to start building the largest business circle in Xiangjiang. It should be your treat, right?"
"To, this brother of yours is better at settling accounts than you!" Chu Huan and Feng Yongfa were joking.
The four of them joked around, and Feng Jingxi took his two sons to chat with his friends.
"Director Chu, I couldn't help you with what happened last time. I hope you won't take it personally!"
Sun Hung Kai's Three Musketeers, Kwok Desheng, Feng Jingxi, and Li Zhaoji, arrived at the scene one after another. The last one to arrive was Li Zhaoji. At this time, Li Zhaoji was embarrassedly talking to Chu Huan about the previous acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni by Chinese Real Estate. There were so many things before.
Chinese businessmen stepped in to raise funds for Chu Huan.
Li Zhaoji did not take action. At this time, Li Zhaoji was talking to Chu Huan about this matter.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "Sheng Li is so polite. Henderson is now at a critical moment in its development. Just be willing!"
"How long has it been since we saw the Three Musketeers of Sun Hung Kai attend an event together?" Yang Jianye in the distance said with some emotion when he saw Guo Desheng, Feng Jingxi and Li Zhaoji who had finished their greetings with Chu Huan and were now chatting.
Tang Kaimin said with some excitement, "Master, don't sigh. Look, Kadoorie and his son from the Grand Hotel Group are also here. They are the first British people to come to the scene!"
At this time, father and son Lao Kadoorie and Michael Kadoorie had also arrived at the scene.
The identities of the two people are somewhat special. Although the Kadoorie family's business is all in Hong Kong, they are British after all. Now that they are here, the meaning is obviously different.
For ordinary people in Hong Kong, the Kadoorie family may be inferior to the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong, but for everyone present, whether they are the rich people or the reporters on the scene, they all understand that the reason why the Kadoorie family is better than the four major foreign banks in Hong Kong is
The four major foreign banks are less famous, not because their business scale is smaller than the four major foreign banks, but simply because the Kadoorie family is more low-key.
"Ah Huan, congratulations, congratulations, after the groundbreaking of Zhulu Commercial Center, Zhulu Real Estate will become the first real estate company in Xiangjiang!"
Old Kadoorie smiled and shook hands with Chu Huan.
Chu Huan humbly preached, "Uncle Kadoorie, the First Real Estate Company doesn't dare to talk about it. In the future, it will still need a lot of help from Uncle Kadoorie and China Electric Power!"
Hua Electric Power is the largest and only power company in Hong Kong. As infrastructure, any real estate is inseparable from the support of the power company. This is why Cheung Kong Electric later wanted to acquire Hong Kong Electric.
Old Kadoorie smiled and said, "I'm old. Hong Kong will be dominated by you young people in the future. If A Huan has any cooperation in the future, just talk to Mi Gao. I believe you young people must have many common topics."
!”
Chu Huan said, "I still need more guidance from Uncle Kadoorie and you seniors in the business world."
"You guys are chatting so happily. Could it be that you have some projects that you want to work on together?"
While Chu Huan was chatting with Lao Kadoorie, Tang Jiqian and Tang Yunian from Nanhai Textile also came to the scene.
"Even if there is cooperation, your Nanhai Real Estate, Mr. Tang, will definitely be indispensable!"
This year, Tang Jiqian finally turned his business attention to the real estate industry and prepared to establish Nanhai Real Estate.
"Ah Huan, after this period of busy work is over, we have to sit down and have a good time. Everyone knew that you were busy before and didn't go to you, but you should have nothing to do in the future, right?"
Tang Yunian happily preached to Chu Huan.
Michael Kadoorie also said, "Yes, the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni is such a happy event that everyone should celebrate it properly."
Seeing these younger generations, the relationship between them became more harmonious because of Chu Huan's appearance. Old Kadoorie and Tang Jiqian looked at each other with a smile, left Chu Huan's side, went to chat with their old friends, and left the scene to
Gave it to Chu Huan and the others.
Chu Huan smiled and said, "We must celebrate. I have already discussed it with Brother Zhao. After these few days of work, we will go to Tokyo together and celebrate for a few days!"
Chu Huan did not choose to celebrate in Xiangjiang, firstly to keep a low profile, and secondly because Chu Huan also hoped that these people could go to Tokyo to see about Huahai Real Estate, which they cooperated with there.
"That's right, I have already called Nozaki Kosuke. Let me tell you, Nozaki Kosuke is definitely a talent, and he will definitely not let you down when the time comes!"
Zhao Congyan and Zhao Shizeng's father and son also came to the scene at this time. Maybe he knew that his sons were not very economical, so Zhao Congyan only brought Zhao Shizeng, the son who had the best relationship with Chu Huan.
"Uncle Zhao!"
Chu Huan smiled and greeted Zhao Congyan.
Zhao Congyan praised, "Lao Cao has found a good son-in-law. Ah Huan, are you interested in entering the shipping industry? We at Huaguang Shipping can cooperate with you!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Chu Huan smiled bitterly and said, "These things now have made me a little anxious. Let's talk about the shipping industry when we have the opportunity in the future!"
Chu Huan has not really decided whether to enter the shipping industry, so now Zhao Congyan can only answer like this.
Zhao Congyan didn't think much about it and said, "Then let's wait until you think about it and then talk in detail!"
"no problem!"
"There were rumors before that these people are Chu Huan's closest partners in Xiangjiang. Now it seems to be true. They all came over immediately!"
Yang Jianye saw Hu Yingxiang, the chairman of Hopewell Real Estate, who had just got off the bus, speaking with some admiration.
But Tang Kaimin didn't care much and said, "There's nothing to be curious about if they come. It would be strange if they didn't come. But Master, do you think Emperor Huo will come over today?"
Although there is no formal cooperation between Chu Huan and Huo Tsar Huang, their relationship with Huo Zhenting has always been good, and the whole of Xiangjiang knows this.
Yang Jianye thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "You probably won't come over. It's been a long time since Tsar Huo attended such an event."
Halfway through his words, Yang Jianye couldn't continue because Emperor Huo came, and not only Emperor Huo came, Emperor Huo's eldest son Huo Zhenting also came with him.
"That was an unimportant event before. In an event like today, Emperor Huo will definitely appear!" Yang Jianye changed his words and said he just let nature take its course.
Tang Kaimin didn't answer, he just picked up the camera and kept taking pictures of Tsar Huo.
"Uncle Huo, welcome, very welcome!" Chu Huan took the initiative to take two steps to greet Huo Tsar Emperor, first stretched out his hand and said with a smile.
Emperor Huo smiled heartily and said, "On such a happy day, I naturally want to come over and say congratulations to you, Ah Huan!"
"Ah Huan, you don't know, daddy was very happy when he saw the report on TV two days ago!" Huo Zhenting said to Chu Huan with a smile.
Chu Huan said modestly, "Compared with your achievements, Uncle Huo, these are nothing!"
Emperor Huo said without hesitation, "You can't say that. I was able to do it because of the support of my hometown. But this acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni is your own ability, Ah Huan. I believe that you will be able to do it in the future."
The achievements will definitely far exceed those of us old guys!"
At this time in Xiangjiang, the only person in Xiangjiang who could openly explain his relationship with his hometown was Emperor Huo.
Chu Huan said seriously, "Uncle Huo's dedication is also obvious to all. Things are mutual. Because of Uncle Huo's previous efforts, we have achieved what we have now!"
Emperor Huo nodded slightly and said, "Ah Huan, although the situation in my hometown is still a bit complicated now, I believe that sooner or later it will get back on track."
Chu Huan nodded and said, "I think so too."
When Emperor Huo heard Chu Huan's reply, he became even happier and said with a smile, "Let's have a nice chat when we have time!"
Chu Huan naturally had no objection. In Xiangjiang, Emperor Huo was the most valued businessman in his hometown. Chu Huan also hoped to return to his hometown with Emperor Huo in the future.
"Look, Qi Dezun from Hehe International is here!"
Just when Chu Huan was greeting Huo Tsar, some commotion occurred among the reporters at the scene. If the status of these people who came before, although they were noble in Xiangjiang, did not surprise everyone present, Qi Dezun who came now made
They were a little surprised.
Previously, Chinese Real Estate and Hefu had a fierce fight in Xiangjiang over the competition for Qingzhou Yingni. As one of the shareholders of Hefu, Hehe International was also considered an enemy of Chu Huan. Now he actually came to congratulate him in person. It has a different meaning.
"Is this a victory?"
Yang Jianye murmured?
"It's not enough to convince them. Hasn't Chinese Real Estate already reached an agreement with Hefu to manage Qingzhou Yingni together? They were rivals before, but now they are partners. It's understandable that they come here!"
Tang Kaimin analyzed.
Yang Jianye laughed and said, "Amin, you are still too young. Can you believe their statement? It is obvious that Chu Huan saved face for them. I think the subsequent fight for the management rights of Qingzhou Yingni must be
No less. As for Qi Dezun coming over, it may be more because of the previous cooperation with Jiaku."
The media in Xiangjiang also knew that Hehe International hired Jiaku to reform its management.
"Then Master, what you mean is that the other companies will not come!"
"It's definitely impossible not to come!" Yang Jianye saw Swire Taipei Shi Huaiya's car also arrived at the scene, and said with an awkward smile, "Now they are partners after all. Even if there is a fight, it is a fight in the dark, and it is a fight in the dark.
On the face, you must look like you are good to me and everyone is good to you."
Tang Kaimin said with admiration, "Master, you still see clearly!"
"That's right, just watch, people from Defeng and Yihe will come over soon!" Yang Jianye wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"Master, are you very hot?" Tang Kaimin asked with concern.
Yang Jianye nodded and said, "It's really hot in this damn weather!"
"But it's already October now," Tang Kaimin said softly.
"hehe."
As Yang Jianye expected, soon John Madden, the Taipan of Wheelock, and Newbijian, the Taipan of Jardine, also arrived at the scene.
"Director Chu, now that the acquisition of Qingzhou Yingni has been completed, I think we should also hold a shareholders' meeting to discuss the new board of directors?"
Niubijian first congratulated Chu Huan on the groundbreaking ceremony of Zhulu Commercial Center, and then told Chu Huan about Qingzhou Yingni.
Chu Huan nodded indifferently and said, "Of course it is possible. We Chinese Real Estate also hope to continue the development of Qingzhou Yingni as soon as possible!"
Niubijian looked a little embarrassed. He had just proposed to convene a shareholders' meeting to renegotiate a new board of directors, but Jardine wanted to declare its sovereignty on this matter.
Xiang Chu Huan said, although you are now the largest shareholder of Qingzhou Yingni, we are also the second largest shareholder.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! As a result, Chu Huanyi pointedly said that he would develop Qingzhou Yingni as soon as possible. It is self-evident that his purpose was to expand Qingzhou Yingni, and the previous Taigu
Shi Huaiya has already said that after the battle with Qingzhou Yingni, the four major foreign banks temporarily no longer have the strength to continue to expand with Qingzhou Yingni.
This made Newbijian a little embarrassed.
John Madden on the side laughed and said, "Isn't there an old saying in the Chinese country that everything is established beforehand and will be ruined without forewarning? I think it is appropriate to stabilize the internal affairs of Qingzhou Yingni first!"
With the support of John Madden, Newbikin became more confident and said, "What John means is what I want to say."
Chu Huan chuckled and said, "The largest shareholders of Qingzhou Yingni now are Chinese Real Estate and Hefu. As long as our two companies work together, there will be no internal problems, but external problems. I think we are more anxious, in case something happens
The board of directors of those cement factories guessed something, and it’s not good!”
John Madden glanced at Chu Huan suspiciously, and couldn't help but said, "Director Chu, do you still have cash in your hand?"
If you want to continue the expansion of Qingzhou Yingni, you must spend more cash. After the battle with Qingzhou Yingni, John Madden doesn't think Chu Huan has any remaining funds.
"I think Director Chu has it!"
Just after John Madden finished asking, HSBC's chief executive Sha Ya also came to the scene with HSBC's general manager Shen Bi and loan department manager Luo Yin Bentley.
Seeing this situation in the distance, Yang Jianye secretly wiped his sweat again. Fortunately, he didn't stand up in advance this time, otherwise it would be another instant slap in the face.
"Even the senior staff of HSBC are here. Master, did you say that Hong Kong Governor MacLehose won't really come here soon?" After Tang Kaimin took the photo, he asked Yang Jianye again.
Yang Jianye said awkwardly, "It's impossible to come!"
Thinking of the previous incidents of being slapped in the face several times, Yang Jianye no longer dared to be sure of anything.
On the other side, Newbijian and John Madden were slightly stunned after hearing what Saya said. They didn't understand why Saya said that.
It's not right to face two people, it's four people, because we have Qi Dezun and Shi Huaiya who have not left yet!
Sha Ya first looked at Chu Huan and asked, "Ah Huan, can I talk about this?"
Chu Huan didn't understand what Sha Ya knew, so he could only smile and say, "You can tell people everything, so of course it's okay!"
Sha Ya glanced at Chu Huan thoughtfully, and then smiled and said, "I had dinner with Tadashi Mori from the Hong Kong Sumitomo Bank office two days ago, and I learned that Director Chu had previously borrowed 100 million US dollars from Sumitomo Bank, and I also knew that,
Ah Huan is very good friends with Mr. Hota Shozo and Mr. Isoda Ichiro of Sumitomo Bank. I think based on Ah Huan’s current strength, if she wants to get a loan from Sumitomo Bank again, there should be no problem!”
Newbijian, John Madden, Shi Huaiya, and Qi Dezun all showed astonishment. At this time, they finally guessed where the cash in Chu Huan's hand came from.
It turned out that I found Sumitomo Bank of Japan.
But if this is the case, Chu Huan will have to pay more than 300 million in interest every year. When they were about to say that this interest was a bit high, they thought of the profits of Fantasy Comics Club!
I suddenly felt helpless.
In particular, Newbikin, John Madden, and Schweizer were even more regretful that they had missed the best opportunity!
If you have a business like Fantasy Comics Club, you definitely won’t care about this little interest!
Thinking of this, these people want to invest in Fantasy Comics Club even more.
At this time, after listening to Sha Ya's words, Chu Huan breathed a sigh of relief and knew what he wanted them to know. This was good, but although Chu Huan wanted these people to know this matter,
Thinking that Tadashi Mouri actually told Saya about his situation, Chu Huan still wanted to tell Shozo Hota and Ichiro Isoda about this matter.
If Tadashi Mouri tells HSBC about his more cooperation with Sumitomo Bank in the future, wouldn't there be no secrets?
"Master, look, the Hong Kong government's car is coming!"
Tang Kaimin has been paying attention to the location of the entrance to the red carpet, wanting to see the biggest question today, who the Hong Kong government will send to congratulate this event.
Now the answer is finally revealed!
Yang Jianye also quickly shifted his gaze from Chu Huan to the entrance of the red carpet.
At the same time, all the reporters on both sides of the red carpet also made the same move as Yang Jianye, and pointed their cameras there.
Financial Secretary Xia Dingji, there is no surprise. According to Chu Huan's status in Xiangjiang at this time, it is appropriate for Xia Dingji to come to congratulate him.
It is understandable for Colonial Secretary Luo Bishi. It is rumored that Chu Huan will join the Executive Council and become an unofficial member at the end of this year. It is also understandable for Luo Bishi to come!
Soon, the third person got out of the car!
Hong Kong Governor MacLehose got out of the car with a smile on his face.
"It's really here!" Even though Yang Jianye saw him in person, he still didn't believe it. In the past, MacLehose rarely participated in such activities.
“This time we have brought together all the celebrities from the political and business circles in Hong Kong!”
Yang Jianye couldn't help but sigh.
"Master, don't sigh, hurry up and take pictures!" Tang Kaimin said excitedly.
"Yes, take pictures!" Yang Jianye said quickly, "I always feel that Chu Huan has dominated the front pages of the Hong Kong media during this period!"
Tang Kaimin thought for a moment and nodded seriously in agreement.
When Chu Huan saw MacLehose coming, he immediately stepped forward to shake hands and exchange greetings. The two parties did not say any substantive issues, but with the arrival of MacLehose, it was time to officially lay the foundation stone of Zhulu Commercial Center.
As the nominally most distinguished person on the site, MacLehose dug the first shovelful of soil, which heralded the official start of construction of the Zhulu Commercial Center!
